To see if your OS -is included have a look at the directory -/pub/samba/Binary_Packages/"OS_Vendor" on your nearest -<A HREF="../MIRRORS">mirror site</A>. If it is included follow the -installation instructions in the README file there and then do some -<A HREF="#ImpTest">basic testing</A>.

Then type -<CODE>smbclient \\hostname\servicename</CODE> -Under most Unixes you will need to put the parameters within quotation -marks.
